Companies live and die by their stock price, yet for the most parts they don't actively participate in trading their shares within the market. Companies receive money from the securities market only when they first sell a security to the public in the primary market, which commonly referred to as an initial public offering (IPO). The original company that issues the stock does not participate in any profits or losses resulting from these transactions because this company has no vested monetary interest.

If demand is inelastic (not very responsive), the business may be able to raise prices without losing many customers. Understanding price elasticity helps businesses make informed pricing decisions to maximize profits.
